Si/Ni and Perfectionism

Let me explain my thoughts on the correlation between Si, Ni, and perfectionism. First, let’s observe what Si and Ni do exactly. Being introverted perceiving functions, their job is to internalize their own subjective interpretations of reality. Si stores personalized impressions of specific details concerning their experiences and surroundings, whereas Ni stores personalized impressions of the basic components and nature of a thing. Both Si and Ni use their observations as a guide to navigate current and future events. Due to their subjective nature, Si and Ni hold preconceived visions of how reality should be. This makes them considerably prone to perfectionism, especially when not balanced out by the other functions. 

Si’s perfectionism is detail-focused. The Si-user knows which ideas have worked in the past and utilizes that information to form structurally similar ideas. They want to consider all the possibilities that emerge from their past experiences, searching through those ideas for the most practical and guaranteed method. However, they often make the mistake of reusing old “perfect” ideas that have worked in the past but won’t work as well in the present situation, simply because those ideas are familiar to them. They may obsessively search for an idea that matches up to their personal standards of what makes an idea “good”, throwing away every new idea they come across because none of them live up to the Si-user’s exact definition of “good”. During the implementation process, they tend to get hung up on small details even if those details aren’t imperative to the completion of the task at hand. Si’s perfectionism could best be described as nitpicking and fastidious.

Ni’s perfectionism is goal-focused. The Ni-user has an exact understanding of the vision that they want to bring about. They mentally polish the idea to perfection, considering every angle and aspect of it. However, they often make the mistake of spending too much time ruminating about the idea and they fail to bring it to fruition in reality. If the idea does reach the implementation process, the Ni-user desires - but occasionally struggles - to support their idea with straightforward and realistic information. They have a tendency to obsessively prune all unnecessary details and strip the idea down to its core purpose or meaning, oftentimes causing the idea to lose its connection to reality (and therefore losing the idea’s objective validity) in the process. Ni’s perfectionism could best be described as tunnel vision and excessive minimalism.

In conclusion: Si and Ni’s fixation on their own subjective interpretations often leads them to strive for an extreme idea of perfection. Note: Si or Ni would be what drives the desire for perfection, while Te or Fe would be employed to accomplish that desire. And so, when I say “perfectionism”, I’m talking about the state of mind that is inclined to nitpick and/or obsessively work towards a preconceived goal or vision.

Purely theoretically:

IxxJs are the types most prone to perfectionism, due to dominant Si/Ni.

ExxJs are the second most prone to perfectionism, due to auxiliary Si/Ni.

IxxPs are prone to becoming perfectionistic during Si/Ni loops.

ExxPs are prone to becoming perfectionistic during Si/Ni grips.

Subtype Information

Random differentiating statements about the subtypes out of John Lucovich’s book; buy it for the in-depth profiles. It’s worth it, he writes extensively about each of them, their ego structure, healthy and unhealthy habits, and then has in-depth profiles for how this “looks” within each individual type, plus growth instructions.

Self-Preservation Dominants:

Seek experiences and circumstances that support a full, robust life. Are interested in maintaining independence and making sure they are dependent on no one else, and are keen to help others become self-sufficient. Tend to focus on the body and its direct feedback, out of a desire to maintain it properly. When healthy, skilled in balancing activity and relaxation. Gives themselves permission to be as they are—to relax when they are tired, to eat when they are hungry, or to treat themselves to something restorative. If imbalanced, they become a workaholic or over-focus on comfort.

Self-Preservation Types gravitate toward what sustains and substantiates their experiences and cultivates their values. They often express their love and affection through offering care for physical needs and lending assistance in practical endeavors. Their pragmatic outlook brings an intuitive understanding of how to be supportive at each step in a process, though they may not appreciate being continually “on call” for others. They find a deep satisfaction in being useful. They may spend a disproportionate amount of time looking for a “sure thing,” financially or otherwise. They prioritize comfort, but with an industrious streak.

Good at lending practical assistance in a crisis. Grounded, salt of the earth, realistic people. Finds it easier to achieve balance when they are responsible for someone else (or a pet). They acquire practical skills, and stick with things long enough to become proficient in them. May over-save or be frugal, or be wasteful and extravagant out of a desire to live “their best life.”

Give considerable care and personalization to their living space (I want to arrange it how it best suits me; organization, de-cluttering, aesthetics). Sensitive to their levels of comfort, sensory stimulation, and the emotional associations of food; may comfort-eat. Can go to an extreme in either direction; hoarding or living as a minimalist.

They value consistency and stability, but also may be dare-devils and risk-takers, who don’t want to miss out on life’s experiences. They approach intense experiences with preparation and focus. A strong capacity for staying focused and directing their energies in a specific direction. They have persistent, enduring energy useful for long-term projects, but when young, may not know where to direct it and wind up locked into a life path that doesn’t fulfill them. Some excessively prepare, save, and remain in stasis without moving forward.

They may resist developing their sexual or social function, because it seems too destabilizing and threatening to their sense of self.

Sexual Dominants:

Are identified with the need to elicit the sexual choice of potential mates. They arrange their identity around ensuring they can win out over sexual competition. They focus on distinguishing themselves from others with a personal “flavor” intended to attract some and repulse others. Being “edgy” works as a filter to only draw people to them that are exciting.

Sexuality, sexual identity, virility, and vitality are at the forefront of their focus. Being desirable is more important to them than how often they have sex or how many partners they’ve had. They care more about whether someone may choose them than whether that attraction will lead to a sexual act.

They focus on what “turns them on”; pursuing attraction is the guiding influence of their life. They may find themselves in a series of infatuations just to unconsciously keep themselves in a state of desire. Their energy galvanizes when interested and contracts when uninterested; abruptly shifting from intense urgency, activation, and focus, or preoccupation on a certain individual or activity, to hastily veering away their attention or cooling off.

They become locked onto a person, but unlike Socials, they want to create interpersonal tension rather than ease, to keep it exciting. Tension invites repulsion or attraction. When magnetized by something or someone, Sexuals drop everything else to pursue it, often making quick and drastic changes in the process of their pursuit of the object. They are willing to abandon their current course and follow a new path to the object of their desire, going much further than other have the fire to go. They trust the pull of attraction without knowing how things will work out, and follow the flow of energy at all costs; they are willing to abandon stability or push past obstacles.

When healthy, these pursuits can become genuinely creative. When unhealthy, a Sexual type can become slavishly devoted to something or someone they are attracted to, no matter how toxic the dynamic might be. They can be serial monogamists, abruptly ending one relationship and impulsively starting new ones. They are always trying to find the “edges” in themselves and push things into intense territory, through provocation. When a relationship stagnates, their tendency is to cause friction in it so it has more intensity.

Social Dominants:

Are attuned to the emotional atmosphere, attention, and agendas of other people, and possess a strong desire to be involved in the lives of others in some meaningful way. They want to leave an impact, large or small, and develop the talents necessary to do this, by looking for a niche to fill (whether that is to be the family comedian or to assume the role of a caregiver). Many of their gifts and talents directly stem from how they grow and cultivate relationships. Socials can be better at noticing others’ talents and gifts than their own.

They are not necessarily more outgoing or extroverted than other people, nor do they all have a wide network of friends. Many of them prefer one-on-one time and have a preference for personal relating, rather than are interested in groups. But they want to be involved with others, and need way more interaction and involvement in others’ lives than Sexual or Self-Pres types. Belonging is of vital importance to them; with a group or another individual. They have a visceral need to feel that they matter, to share a common aim, and to feel a part of someone or something even when separated by a distance.

Being engaged and impacting others in a meaningful way can be in person, online, or in a more distant format, but they gravitate toward interests that are both personally enjoyable and have a larger impact in the culture. While they nurture their individual passions, they feel their pursuits and interests are enhanced when appreciated by others or relevant to the culture.

Their sensitivity to others’ states makes them interested in what they are up to, in staying in touch with them, and in fostering communication between themselves and those who draw their interest; they are highly discerning about whom they interact with on a deeper level, but are willing to put aside certain prejudices about people to find common ground. Some even believe themselves to be anti-social, cynical about relationships, or fed up with people. This disdain is a reaction to heartbreak at having been let down by them, or having their need to connect unmet. Their attention toward others, however, persists.

They are curious and fascinated by other people and cultures. When healthy, this means caring for others and selflessness in the face of others’ needs. If unhealthy, it develops into an unnatural preoccupation with what others are thinking and feeling about them. They are often charismatic, and talented communicators. They find it easier to mobilize others than themselves, which can cause them to not recognize that despite feeling genuine concern for others, they desperately need their status, value, and goodwill to be acknowledged.

They balance a great deal of social information all at once, which means they respond to most situations “appropriately” in a manner that will not cause offense. They want to offer the right kind of a response to generate the intended outcome. The downfall of this is that they can become self-inhibited, and prone to second-guessing themselves, punishing themselves if they are not contributing in a meaningful way. It’s important for them to recognize how others-oriented their personality is, so they can turn their attention to their own potential rather than projecting how others will respond to it.

Hii,

I was wondering if you could maybe describe an ISTP 782 (7w8) since from what I've understood is a rare combo and I haven't encountered info of these both types combined. Pros and cons, differences from the stereotypical ISTP, they would all be helpful.

Thank you in advance :)

To be honest, I’d assume they were a mistyped ESTP. 7-8 is very aggressive, extroverted, and dominant “brat” energy that doesn’t mesh as well with the Ti-dom tendency to “think before I act.” 7-8 just reacts with aggressive energy or goes after whatever it wants, so ESTP is a better fit in real life.

Fiction-wise, that could be Indiana Jones’ tritype. I don’t know for sure.

[everythingtritypes]

How do you differentiate between 783 and 782? I'm a sp-blind ENTP 7wcp6.

Added 784 too. Sorry for the late response.

So I’ll again just put all the random thoughts down here on 782, 783 and 784.

-I guess it is a fact that heart center is the hardest to decide for almost everyone.

-Since you can always read about the individual heart types I’ll talk about the tritypes only. It will still kind of only be about the heart center types though probably.

-Still a little bit on just the heart center types:

-2 is the helpful one, 3 is the image-oriented one, 4 is the emotional one.

-Dealing with emotions, 4 accepts and identifies with the emotions, 3 tends to ignore it if necessary, and 2 tends to reject it’s own emotions and tries to focus on others.

-So when I hear 378 I imagine the mover-shaker, the go-getter, the challenger, the power seeker. When I hear 478 I imagine someone who wants to be uniquely themselves in an emotional way and doesn’t care about what other people think. As for 278, I’m not sure what I imagine. I guess a free spirit who rushes a lot and who also has that 2 kindness?

-278 is considered as an optimistic tritype. It has a hard time dealing with negative emotions, mostly tends to ignore them like a 9. Although the 7 in all these types is optimistic, I would think that 378 is more neutral and 478 is more pessimistic.

-278 would be very very protective of people they love.

-478 is the most introspective of the three. For the two others this is kind of a weak spot.

-378 is the most ambitious one and is concerned about it’s image even thought the image is kind of similar to 278 and 478. -378 is more focused on the prize.

-378 has the potential of forgetting how it’s actions affect others, something a 278 wouldn’t do, or the deeper meaning and significance of what it’s doing, something a 478 wouldn’t do.

-478 the most creative.

-278 the most open minded in comparison.

Key words apart from obvious 7 and 8 words like fun, enthusiastic, power-seeking, social etc.

278 key words: caring, innovative, people-oriented, charming, free spirit, honest, pride, protective

378 key words: assertive, efficient, straight-forward, manipulative, professional

478 key words: passionate, creative, emotional, visionary, moody

The 27 Tritype Discriptions

INTRODUCTION:

This took me FOREVER. Ever since I’ve learned about tritypes I have lamented at the lack of cohesive resources on the subject. All the information is scattered and disorganized across many platforms and its simply frustrating to find and research. I figured I would do my civic duty to this community and compile this information. This is the 27 Tritypes put together in a cohesive and simplified manner.  

I would like to say that I only wrote about 20% of this. All I did was put the information togeather, make it fit, and add in info when it was lacking. Please let me know if you have anymore questions!

The Mentor: 125, 251, 512

Gut: 1 Heart: 2  Head: 5

Mentors want to help others with the information they have acquired. They love being the stoic guidance counselor. Caring, practical, knowledgeable. They can be very controlling, and sometimes try to force advice on others, but it is often very helpful. They have high expectations for others and push them to be their best. They should try to be less judgmental of others and not over-give. Your life mission is to use your wisdom to provide the information needed to manifest ideals that help those in need. A true mentor, you are happiest when you can help others improve themselves. They could make great teachers – they are precise, ethical, thorough, intellectual, disciplined, but also altruistic and willing to help other people. They are usually moral and righteous individuals, who have high ideals and are willing to stand by a cause they believe in. Their interest in people and commitment to knowledge and improvement can turn them into crusaders for theories and systems that can make the world a better place.

The Supporter: 126, 261, 612

Gut: 1 Heart: 2 Head: 6 As a Supporter, you are discerning, caring and inquisitive. You want to be ethical, helpful and cooperative. Highly responsible, you are most comfortable when you do things by the book and know what to expect. Focused on the needs and concerns of others, you seek ways to be of service. Your life mission is to find structured ways to give, and be of assistance to others. A true helper, you are happiest when you are in a position to support others achieve their goals. You can be overly fixed in your opinion of what is right and be rigid in your expectations of yourself and others and thus come across as disapproving or militant. This type ignores their own desires. They are very loyal and act as they feel they should and often for others. They want to serve and they tend to expect others to as well. Fear of desperateness, humiliation and doubt. Tendency to seek things they will accept, approval and assurance. This is absolutely the “caring friend” archetype.

The Teacher: 127, 271, 712

Gut: 1 Heart: 2 Head: 7  

As a Teacher, you are a person needing to find structured ways to play and be of service. They like to teach and to support others. It’s the classic elementary school teacher archetype that wants to find innovative but structured ways to make learning or improving enjoyable to people. The blindspot is they can become so attached to their way of doing “fun” and innovation that they can gloss over negative feelings that need to be addressed or become too rigid in their expectations thus making things not fun. You love discovering new things and sharing what you learn with others. Your mission is to help those in need of guidance, hope, and inspiration. You can also be hyper-focused on keeping things overly positive and upbeat. Your growing edge is to be willing to experience emotional pain. You can be overly identified with positive emotions and appropriate behavior. Negative emotions teach us what we are feeling and are an important aspect of any decision making process. A true teacher, you are happiest when you can use your teaching skills to make learning a creative and enjoyable experience

The Technical Expert: 135, 351, 513

Gut: 1 Heart: 3 Head: 5

The Technical expert is driven, self disciplined, success and image oriented (but the image is not one of flash. It’s ALWAYS perfect and appropriate.)…discerning, self demanding and judgmental with a focus on control. Extremely productive and hardworking, she barely gives herself a break, but when she does it’s like a huge release. It’s always planned though…Highly intelligent and focused, but can be narrow-minded at times, even though she’s capable of seeing other perspectives if she’s convinced of the “rightness” of hers she will be harsh, critical and obstinate. You are diligent, focused and knowledgeable. You want to be ethical, efficient and wise. Highly rational, you seek systems and procedures. Detail oriented, you like mathematical concepts and finding ways to breakdown and understand complex material. You are very precise and good with your hands. Your life mission is to be focused and to use your powers of observation to achieve goals. A true technical expert, you feel happiest when you use your knowledge and precision skills to create, achieve and teach.

The Taskmaster: 136, 361, 613

Gut: 1 Heart: 3 Head: 6

As a technical expert you are incredibly discerning, focused and responsible type. She said they will be the most inclined to want to live up to a successful image by societal standards and to focus on duty in order to feel valuable. She called it the “true taskmaster” that is inclined to create structure and rules that others in society can follow and to implement them. She said the blindspot is that one can be so overly focused on the rules that they can lose touch with their own values and feelings in deference to what is acceptable or societally defined. you are diligent, focused and knowledgeable. Elegant, stoic and resolute with a loyal professional veneer. Very self critical. Strong ideas about how they should act and have man guidelines that they must follow and cannot deter from. They can feel like a break from work is a sin, and sometimes only feel okay working. This is one of the hardest workers, if not the hardest worker of the 27 archetypes.

Reposting so I can find it later lol

[aviesarchive-blog-deactivated20]

I don't see a lot of descriptions for 7w6 sx/sp out there. What's a basic description of one?

considering one of my better friends is enfp 7w6 sx/SP…

They tend to poke fun the way all sevens do. A sx Dom 7w6 would be more careful than normal to avoid stepping on their friend’s toes, although all 7w6 do this. 7w6 sx is also very in tune to the immediate environment around them due to the six wing. If the 6 picks up in disharmony among those close to the person and becomes anxious, they may withdraw due to second sp to figure out their next move in light of their close friends, or will turn to others for support that they trust (since they do have sx over sp).

the seven will probably take over there, and this person is likely to try to fix the immediate disharmony by pulling people into fun activities and that also distracts them at the same time. They are usually successful at smoothing things out especially if they have fe.

These sevens are not usually ill intentioned but they can be if pushed (contrast 7w8 who is usually more or less ill intentioned). The class clown archetype best describes a 7w6 sx/sp. They’re funny, they do poke fun at others and can be a bit of a bully, but they also know how to unite people to have a good time (and again, unlike the 7w8 whose idea of a good time has nothing to do with unification unless it’s unification against other people specifically).

[istj-hedonist]

258 The Strategist

The 258 lives life as if it were a series of games that only need the right strategy to conquer. The helpful nature of 2 looks to others to identify needs, which can be fulfilled by a strategy from the constantly resourceful 5. The addition of the stubbornness and confidence of 8 mean that this type is unlikely to ask first, instead assuming their help is always needed. If the 258 allows themselves to become too wrapped up in their strategy building, they can become completely unresponsive to other points of view, making them difficult or impossible to work with.

(description by @naughty-nanny)

[avonleavignettes]

Perhaps, after all, romance did not come into one’s life with pomp and blare, like a gay knight riding down; perhaps it crept to one’s side like an old friend through quiet ways; perhaps it revealed itself in seeming prose, until some sudden shaft of illumination flung athwart its pages betrayed the rhythm and the music. 

Perhaps… perhaps…love unfolded naturally out of a beautiful friendship, as a golden-hearted rose slipping from its green sheath.

[katietheshrimp-blog]

“You just think that you love me.” “Anne, I’ve loved you as long as I can remember. I need you.”

[multiacsthetics]

I can't 🤧

[avonleavignettes]

Anne: He loves me? I can’t know why. Marilla: Because you made Josie Pye and Ruby Gillis and all of those wishy-washy young ladies who waltzed by him look like spineless nothings. Anne: Marilla, he’s hardly my ideal of a romantic suitor.  

[estj-destroyer-of-misinformation]

How do you distinguish between the x38 tritypes?

Assuming that the head type is the core, as this ask is suggesting, all types would be extremely different because they’d be entirely separate cores. However, assuming we take the tritype as a whole, here’s some distinguishers.

First off, 3X8s are headstrong and emotionally negligent, with a very strong sense for what their goals are. 

358s tone down this aggression the most with a detached perspective. Their 3 and 8 action seems less personal. 

368s, because the 6 is almost always counterphobic, double the aggression. To their credit, however, they do have the strongest sense of justice aside from 1s, and are more willing to act on it. 

378s strike an in between when it comes to aggression. They’re a more fun loving 3X8, and more engaged with the people around them, but they’re also greedier and more entitled. They take resources more than any other type. 

[istj-hedonist]

358 The Solution Master

358s live for the feeling of being acknowledged for their success in thinking up a solution. 358s love tackling the world in their own balanced way. 3 provides a constant awareness of the feedback and a thirst for prestige. 5 focuses inwards in a search for understanding and fortification. 8 pushes outwards to assert itself against the world. If the 358 is not careful, they can become too wrapped up in their own heads to the point of ignoring their emotions.
